CNN just does not understand Occupy Wall St.It is not anti-government or fits the narrativefor CNN. How can a network affiliated with thetea party even be trusted covering politics whenthe tea partiers are on their payroll. CNN keepstrying to define the movement. CNN is a partof the problem. They are trying to misinform the public because they too are controlled bymoney. The tea party bought influence at CNNby advertising on the network. It is in CNN'sinterest to attack Occupy Wall St. They don'tget ad dollars if they don't. CNN is a primeexample of corrupt media.

From the looks of the ratings on TVN, Ms Burnett with her cutsey mannerisms and smiley persona, isn't setting CNN's world on fire.She's also, so far, not proven to be a great lead in for 360.In both time slots this week, 360 came in third on Thursday, though higher ratings wise, than Ms Burnett.When it comes to finance, viewers seem to want someone who is confident about what they are saying and Ms Burnett lacks this self assertiveness.Some have asked can she "fly solo?"So far, not on take off or landing,and there's turbulance at all altitudes during crusing.

360 is completely stupid. Occupy Wall St isnot the tea party. Is Anderson Cooper to good to talk to Occupy Wall. How in thehell do you bring on the tea party to talkabout Occupy Wall St. Why cant he carryhis lazy a** down there and talk to theprotestors. Anderson Cooper is not beinggenuine. So no Occupy Wall St protestorsare not permitted on 360.

Anderson "keeping it dishonest " Copperjust insulted Occupy Wall Street. The teaparty was formed out of hatred for Pres.Obama. I am protesting 360 with theremote and never again will I put it onmy DVR. Cooper is being dishonest.

While I was glad AC360 finally got around to covering Occupy Wall Street, I was disappointed that Anderson let that Tea Party rep go on and on with all her lies and rhetoric. Anderson appears to be incapable of accepting that YES, many in the Tea Party are racist and that it was one of the MAIN reasons the organization was formed. It is also NOT a grass roots organization as the MSM wants everyone to believe. The Koch Brothers and other shady dealers and corporations have always pulled the strings of the Tea Party. I don't believe Anderson looks upon liberals or liberal causes favorably (I do give him credit for asking why OWS is being maligned for protesting and the Tea Party wasn't), but I think he carries a lot of suspicion and cynicism when it comes to anything liberal or progressive and he's more sympathetic to right wing concerns. It's probably no accident that 360 waited a long time (and Friday no less) to cover OWS. If Anderson wants to prove himself a balanced reporter, he will go down to OWS and report on them FAIRLY and honestly and without the kind of dismissive and snide attitude that Burnett had. I was happy to see Cornell West on the show but he didn't get nearly enough time to counter that TP rep. No Anderson, it was not unfair to label most in the Tea Party racist, because that is a FACT. I do hope that 360 and other CNN programs will continue to cover OWS, but in a balanced manner. They can't ignore it because it's growing.

I too believe that Anderson does not look at liberal causes favorably.He should and could interview a few intelligent students who are now demonstrating on Wallstreet, but that is not likely.For the obvious reasons, he does not seem to want to communicate with people who are against the banking system.He now has the opportunity to do interviews of real importance on his daytime program. With so many people out of work, I really can't see how he can want to "relate to the soccer mom mentality," as opposed to white collar unemployment.Lite fare is fine and dandy if you have a pension, and are in retirement, but if you happen to be one of the many facing foreclosure or shortsales and your homes are of little value, talking about "pets and the people that love them," is a complete waste of time for a journalist who has 3 whole hours to fill.

Forgive me.I thought Erin Burnett was a business and finance show and I've yet to hear her discuss the market, trading, short sales, or anything relevant in regard to retirement, pensions, 401K's, Roth IRAs vs. Regular IRAs etc.Why isn't she?What exactly is this woman's purpose on CNN?Tonite, for instance, she actually recapped the news and spent 5 minutes speaking about the protests and demonstrators on WS.Why can't she be a younger version of Suzie Orman and give advice or have viewers call in about monetary issues and finance and why can't a producer at CNN speak up and find an actual PURPOSE for hiring this woman??

I hope that from now on when CNN doesany stories on OWS that talk with the peoplewho are involved in the protests from thegrass roots. As Jon Stewart said the otherday. They got game. Tj Holmes got it right.I think that is the first positive thing that Ihave seen when it comes to CNN.

OWS now is creating a free independent people's media. This is the digital genand they have media smarts that CNNcan only dream about. As JS said theygot game.I really don't understand whyAC didn't have some of the protesterslive from Wall St. Does it seem odd to anyone that he went with a protest inLA and talked with prominent liberals.Why did a banner say Occupy vs Tea.It was bogus journalism. That has beenmade up by people like him in the media.

I was impressed with the trio that TJ spoke with,so I wrote down their names. Crystal Rutenberg,Jim Nichols & John Reynolds. They were sharpand had no problem grasping the situation. CNNneeds to hire that Reynolds kid. That is the journoof the future. I liked the segment. It was likebring it old man but a respectful/smart tone.No yelling or trying to demonize anyone. That isthe route CNN should take, intelligent,informative& smart conversation. These 3 clearly elevated thei.Q. of CNN way beyond where it has been thesedays.CNN has too many juvenile silliness thesedays. You can make the news interesting andfun but CNN looks gimmicky and is a turnoff.Hire John Reynolds and others who know andunderstand modern communication. Also,how is it that CNN missed the story on the96 yr old lady who can't get an ID to vote,Despite the fact that she has been voting foryears. How can this not be a national story ?She even has documents and is being shaftedby laws that are trying to keep people fromvoting. CNN needs to be investigating whythis is going on to yet another person whohas played by t the rules for years. That iswhat is driving Occupy Wall St.

CNN needs to keep in mind that they are CNNand not FNC or MSNBC. Outfont is an insult tocollege educated females. CNN is so demeaningto women. As far as I am concerned they still have a women's problem. The comparisons toKiran Chetry and Campbell Brown are right. Itis not going to work in CNN's favor. I hope themen at CNN take time to ask their wives orgirlfriends and daughters why they don't likeOutfront. They would get an earful.

CNN needs to end the 15 minutes of fame forthe preacher knocking Mormons. Why is he onCNN so much. Does anyone really care about this guy. CNN needs to stop following noise and follow some news. There is news goingon so why is CNN wasting so much time onthis guy. If you don't live in Texas or watchevangelicals on tv , you have no idea who the man is.He is not important.

TVN called "OutFront" both dismissive and condescending. I agree, but wasn't that true of Piers Moron and he's still here and TV Guide just quoted him as being one of the talk hosts that are "up and coming."So in a nut shell, ya' think Erin Burnett will meet the same destiny as Parker/Spitzer or will she be given a talk show?Ya' never know.Look at Gloria what's her face.She has a talk show. Nobody to talk to, but a show nevertheless.

Rachel Maddow has been doing reports on conservative's attempts to make it as difficult as possible for minorities, the elderly and students to vote. This is going on across the country. The 96 year old woman who wasn't able to vote is an example of this. CNN went on and on about ACORN and its so-called and later disproven "voter fraud" but they have said nearly nothing about the tactics that Republicans are taking to give their party an election advantage in 2012. If the Tea Party's not whining about something, I guess CNN doesn't think its news. They're just barely into OWS, but treating it like problem or a joke. Republicans know that the country's changing demographics don't favor them, so they are trying to suppress the votes of people who would likely vote for a Democrat. CNN needs to cover this, but they won't for fear of offending the Tea Party and the GOP.

What CNN fails to understand is that Erin Burnettwas not just mocking protesters, she was mockingus. Ordinary Americans who are invisible to CNN.As far as CNN is concerned, we don't exist sinceWall St is scared, we don't matter. They live in anivory tower called Time Warner, make millions andare paid to not talk with regular people, let aloneto have to actually come in contact with us. Theonly people that they come in contact with talkmoney & politics 24/7. Know shy ? It is just thempundits and rich pals. No dose of reality at all. Sothat only means one thing :CNN is deeply out oftouch and totally disconnected from the public.CNN what have you done for viewers lately orin recent memory ?

So you ignore millions of customers and expectto stay in business.If you don't have customers,you will eventually lose advertisers. Just add real news to the list of things that are no longeravailable that you are paying for but you getgames with pundits,opinion not facts, tea partyquestions.CNN does not understand Occupy Wall Street; they don't have any idea about whatis going on in the real world. Besides that CNNis too close to the tea party to be objective andhave painted themselves into a corner. They are on the wrong side. So here comes the great media coverup from CNN. Make up fake issues like they don't know what they want, there is no leader. No way could thisbe real they are not disrupting town halls orhate the government. CNN only looks at newsvia an ideological prism and they have no ideaof real news since they have not done their jobs for years, The gig is up for CNN. They would never hire dude because he spoketruth to power and told them they can;t betrusted because of they way they handle news.As far as I'm concerned, he needs to be running the place. What has CNN done forviewers lately ? Absolutely nothing.

CNN talks about politicians and who benefitspolitically for all of the news. What ? So whatdoes that do for viewers. Nothing about themillions of Americans who deal with the jobs& economics daily, CNN has decided peopledon't matter.CNN is way off base with it'sdepiction/portrayal of Americans. CNN hasno idea about what is on my mind. Don't tellme what I am talking about.It is a real shamewhat they have done to CNN. Their arrogancewill kill the network. How badly CNN behavedwith their coverage of Occupy Wall Street willbe another failure for CNN. This is whathappens when you hire pundits and not realjournalists, you have no contact with the newsor the millions who are the news. Why wouldanyone insult the very people you need. WhileErin Burnett, Alison Kosik & others at CNNwere mocking protesters, they are organizingto not give their money to anything TimeWarner. Who is laughing now ? See if youhave any hit movies this fall. Also, if CNN disses us we diss back. No CNN on tv orthe internet. CNN is nothing without our money or support. Next up : don't supportany who advertise on Outfront.

CNN is not changing with the times either.Cable news in prime time is all white. NOdiversity is a huge problem for cable news. Products have to grow and reflect the times.Culture, music, fashion. electronics all evolvewith the times. CNN is stuck in a time warpbig time. Viewers don't watch the news forpundits. they watch the news for the news.We are a decade plus into the 21st centuryand CNN still has the crawl. I'm certain thatthere are people out there who can makethe news reflect the times but CNN is tooafraid of the future to hire them or listen.

Occupy Wall St is like what is going on in Israel to bring about change. It has nothingin common with the Tea Party. Occupy wantseverything to work for the good of the people.The movement is not about hate. CNN needs to go to the Huffington Post to read the harsharticle on OUtfront to get the big picture.CNNwas duped by the Tea Party and is corrupt. Now they are trying to malign Occupy Wall St.Read the comments and maybe they will getit but I am not hopeful. CNN is in denial.CNNmissed a big news story. They don't havecredibility with Occupy Wall St. They haveshown their true colors.

Hey CNN stop protecting Mitt Romney and airthe clip of him saying he is not concerned aboutOccupy Wall Street.He wants to occupy the WH.That guy is a jerk. Of course this was on ABC News who are not trying to make this about thetea party.CNN is stuck on stupid. Occupy is notfunded by the Koch brothers or former CNN colleagues like Dick Armey.

The Occupy movement is huge. It is nowin more than 250 cities in the US & it isgoing global. Occupy protests are on tapon every continent except Antarctica. There is a legendary rap song called" The Message". CNN will regret mockingOccupy Wall St. It has spawned worldwideprotests.CNN will never understand themessage. You can't understand what youcan't comprehend. The protesters haveset a way for people to get their veryown newspaper on Kickstarte. They areusing FB, Twitter, YouTube & live streams.They really don't need CNN.

They blew their horns and the walls camedown, they'd all been warned and the wallscame down, they stood there laughing, theyaren't laughing anymore and the walls camedown. I would never have guessed that The Call had CNN in mind but than again musicis always way ahead of the news. In the wordsof Public Enemy : you can't trust it and shutem down. Jesus Jones got it right too : the revolution has already passed by CNN. Butnobody saw this coming better than thelate Gil Scott Heron with " The RevolutionWill Not Be Televised'". Know why becauseit will be on the streets live.

With Ken Jautz now running CNN, does it reallysurprise anyone about the state of TEaNN. Hewas the 1st to hire Glen Beck and destroyed HLN, which needs to be reclassified as anentertainment channel and not news. Ironically,CNN promoted him to CNN when there was abig drop in ratings for HLN. Jautz is Jon Kleinthe sequel.

Oh snap. Did you guys see what Tavis Smileydid on CNN. He called the network out forfalling for the banana it the tailpipe when itcomes go news. Al day long CNN asks dumbquestion that mean nothing. The Daily Show,their press peers and people who are live onCNN are telling this to CNN right in the face.CNN is still dull. Forget about being out ofideas. They are out of their minds.

2:23PM: You make a valid point.Erin Burnett is too cutesey and plays cutesey badly.Her promos were terrible so I knew ahead of time that the show would do poorly.While she may very well have financial expertise, CNN never hired her for her knowledge.They hired her because she was cute and obeyed orders and they could MOLD her, like clay.With CNN there is always a motive and the motive is either money or ratings, not expertise.

Erin Burnett is a sham. I initially did not believe all of the negative reviews, I thought they were being unfair. Now I realize how wrong I was. I watched your show today and was embarrassed. The little giggles and smiles, it does not make you look cute, it makes you look silly. What's new and out front about your show? Nothing.

Please do not put John King in the same sentence as Erin Burnett or Piers Moron.John King will not be going anywhere. He knows politics and statistics better than anyone on television and he will, more than likely, be here for the next election.He has been at CNN for many years and has proven himself.He is sharp, personable, and has both strength and wisdom, and if management left his time slot alone, or gave him State of the Union back, he would excell like he did before.Burnett and Morgan must leave, but at least Piers can multi-task, with two shows under his egotistical belt. Erin Burnett needs note cards just to begin a thought.

I think relatively speaking, most of the ATA posters are disappointed with Anderson's daytime show.They are disappointed that Anderson has the chance to elevate the discussion and doesn't.Most people expected more from him because he always elevated the discussions in the past, or at least he tried.Now it seems he is just emulating shows that are out there.This could be the fault of the producers he has hired or it could be that he's become increasingly disinterested in topics of an intellectual nature.I certainly hope it is not the later.
